Dudes be sketchin'

New photoshop brush means I have started sketching/using photoshop again! Going to try to make this a daily habit (the sketching mind you, not blog posts as that would get tedious).

Desktop Background

All this cloudy, windy, cold weather makes me wish it was the summer already.

and what better way to express that than with a new desktop?

Post-Christmas Cards

While back in Calgary away from my computer and Photoshop and having grown tired of Assassin's Creed II (good game just not ideal for your only source of activity) I decided to make as many Christmas cards as I could for friends etc.
Which it is worth noting, I still owe some people cards (Joel and Devon coming immediately to mind).
All were done with marker/glitter pens on cardstock.

So yeah... Late notice Merry Festive Winter Whathaveyou to everyone! and maybe next year I'll go into the card business.

A new post of some old things

Hi again internets,
In honour of this beautiful item showing up (and which I will soon make functional) I finally managed to post up some earlier stuff I shot with 16mm on Youtube. So for your enjoyment...



Also, I recently came across this. It has a great retro look and feel, easy quick bedside access to the internet, internet radio etc. And yet... its a $100 clock. Totally pointless as my phone or computer which is really just as close to my bed as this would be can achieve all the same things.
and not cost $100.

Yet... few things have screamed "The Future!" to me like this thing does. and so now I desperately sort of want a totally useless, pointless $100 bedside clock.

Sunday Drive

For some reason this picture, this very drawing is, of everything I have done recently, The one I am the most pleased with. Just something about it makes me grin and think "hey I drew that!" every time I look at it. To the point where my first attempt at a webcomic might be something involving those two fellows. They just scream crazy adventures don't they?

Also this is going on a T-shirt, possibly with an "Old Tyme Robot" banner above it but Justin and I have yet to decide that. So if you like it as much as I, give me a shout and it could grace your already sexy self and make it just a little bit more attractive.
Just a little.

(oh and please look at the high res version as it does look all detaily in that mode)

Cpt. Rusty Pants

Sorry there kids. I had planned on posting this a little while ago buuuutt I started colouring it and then got sidetracked with various other things not related to drawing (mostly Brutal Legend).
So while the colour version is probably 80% done and will be posted eventually, here is the finished black and white of the robot on a ship you are all probably quite bored of now.

sketchy things

As part of my desire to maintain this as something I update often here is a very early sketch of what I am currently working on (based off an idea given by JJ)


*Edit* here is a more recent version of it. Woo! witness the process that is art


And don't worry, dinosaurs will eventually return to my drawing. Just been listening to lots and lots of electronica (and finally Wolfgang Amadeaus Phoneix) of late and its just tends to cause me to draw more robots than anything else. Go figure.

Also Alanna you should win a prize of some sort for putting the very first comment on this site.
